The recruitment process typically occurs once you have arrived in New Zealand. Candidates are taken through an assessment which normally involves:
- an interview
- a physical assessment
- driving assessment
- team exercise
- written tests
- psychological profiling
- Police clearance
- medical examination
In New Zealand's larger cities, candidates may be invited to undertake the recruitment process prior to a position becoming available. Those that complete the process and meet our selection criteria will be placed on a waiting list pending availability of a suitable position. Please note, candidates placed on the waiting list are not guaranteed a paid position within St John. Availability of positions varies throughout the year.
In smaller locations the recruitment process may be shortened in order to fill specific vacancies, as they become available.
St John is an accredited employer which means that if you have a job offer from us and you fill the requirements, your application for a work permit will be fast tracked. Click here to view the New Zealand Immigration website which explains this in full detail.
The New Zealand immigration service (www.immigration.govt.nz) has a very comprehensive website that contains all the relevant information and contacts you will need.
